McDonald’s latest advertising venue: report cards
We have this week’s Advertising Age to thank for telling us about McDonald’s new marketing venue: the covers of report cards! And how’s this for an incentive: kids in this school district in Florida who earn all A’s and B’s, have no more than two absences, or (not even and?) exhibit good behavior are entitled to a free happy meal when they present their report card. Next?
Plenty, apparently. See what the New York Times says about all the other food companies that have figured out creative ways to market to school kids.
